USB4® version 2 is a major update to enable up to 80 Gbps of data performance compared to USB4® version 1 which only supports 40 Gbps. The USB Type-C® and Power Delivery(PD) will also be updated next year to enable higher levels of data performance.
USB4® version 2 is backward compatible with earlier USB versions back to USB2® and Thunderbolt 3.

Sysctl will analyze the market development to see when the market for the USB4® version 2 has matured, so we can extend our IMPEX offerings to also include this new USB4® variant. USB4® version 2 devices should be supported in IMPEX due to the backward compatible in the standard.
